Chapter 100: The Beggar Presents a Book
Lu Chenjian slashed Ding Rui's envoy, and with practical actions, he showed his determination to be inseparable from Ding Rui!
For a time, the entire Binh Duong County entered the atmosphere on the eve of the war.
The next day, the south gate of Pingzhou.
Now Pingyang County, in order to prevent the intrusion of fine work, under Lu Chen's order, each city gate is heavily guarded, and there are many soldiers, and every pedestrian who enters the city must be closely examined before entering Pingzhou.
At this time, it was evening, and the pedestrians entering the city were lining up to be questioned by the guards.
After a while, it was the turn of a man in ragged clothes and covered in dirt.
His face and body were covered with stains, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he was sour all over, no need to ask, just looking at this appearance, he was a complete beggar.
The gate guard frowned in disgust, pinched his nose and waved it, "Go, go!" Where did you come from, Pingzhou City is also a place where you can enter!? Get out of here! ”
Under normal circumstances, a beggar should be very frightened when he is scolded by the guards. But instead of being afraid, this person asked with a smile:
"Dare to ask this military master, why can't beggars enter Pingzhou City? You know, I'm also a citizen of the Wind Country. ”
Yo! I didn't expect a dirty beggar to reason with himself! When the guard heard this, he suddenly became energetic and said:
"Huh? I said you stinky food! I'm quite able to speak! That's fine! Master Jun, let me tell you, it's not that I don't allow beggars to enter Pingzhou City, but now, the population in the city has increased dramatically, and my lord has issued a strict order to prevent the fine work from getting in, and those whose identity is unknown are not allowed to enter the city! Now you get the idea, right? Get out of here! Don't get in the way of the military master here! ”
"In other words, if I can prove my identity, then I can go into the city, right?" The beggar asked rhetorically.
Without waiting for the guard to answer again, the beggar immediately took out a sealed silk book from his bosom, handed it to the guard in front of him, and said:
"This military master, if you can hand over this letter to Lu Chen, the general of Zhenbei, your life will definitely change, and there will be wealth and wealth from the sky."
"What??"
"Hehe, don't you believe what I'm saying?"
"Nonsense!"
"Are you sure you believe it or not?"
"Only fools believe it!"
"If you don't believe it, you will miss an opportunity in your life, and it will be too late to regret it."
"Haha-"
"Isn't it ridiculous, everyone in the world is like this, they often think that they are smart, just like me now, just like you now."
"I listen to you fart ......"
"Okay, give it back to me." The beggar stretched out his hand and said.
But at this time, the guard suddenly hesitated.
After a while, he put the silk book into his bosom and said suddenly to the beggar:
"You, don't run far! Wait here! I'll see if I can help you get the letter, but I can't guarantee you, my lord is busy with official business, and it's not something like me can be seen casually......"
The beggar nodded with a smile, and after seeing the guard leave, he came to a secluded place alone, pulled a dry grass on the side of the road and put it in his mouth, and then put his hands around his chest, leaned against an old tree, and looked up at the city wall of Pingzhou, and said to himself:
"At this time, when there is a male lord, I don't know if it is in this Pingyang County......"
"Hey, it's strange why I suddenly believed a beggar's nonsense." In front of the county capital, the guard at the south gate held his helmet in his hand, scratched his hair and muttered.
Seeing a soldier dangling in front of the mansion gate, a county government guard stepped forward and asked, "Brother, which battalion are you from, do you have something to do here?" ”
"Huh?" Hearing the words, the city gate guard came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, this big brother, it's like this......"
So, he told the county government guards what happened before, and when he finished speaking, the guards were angry and funny, a beggar, and what important things could be handed over to the lord, and it was really a shame that this guy could come from the south gate so far away!
He shook his head with a smile, patted the shoulder of the city gate guard, and said, "Brother, I see that you have been teased, besides, the lord has been in the study all day long because of many important things recently!" How can you have such time, you better hurry back to the south city gate, otherwise let your superiors know, and they will punish you for the crime of leaving your post without permission. ”
"This ......" Hearing him say this, the guard also thought that he might have been tricked, but his luck was too good! Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Chen walked out of the county mansion.
Ah! Seeing this, the guard was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said, "Subordinates see the lord!" ”
"No need to be polite." Lu Chen waved his hand to signal him to get up, and was just about to turn over and get on his horse, but the guard took out the beggar's letter from his arms, raised his hands slightly forward, and said:
"The lord of Qiqi, my subordinates are on duty at the south gate today, and I met a beggar, and I want to present this letter to the lord, and I said...... And said that if he could deliver this letter to the lord, his subordinates should have wealth from heaven......"
"Oh? A beggar? When Lu Chen heard this, he was surprised, and at the same time stopped the action of getting on the horse, and said under his feet again: "Take it to me." ”
"No!" The guard responded, cleverly opened the sealed bag of the silk book, and then unfolded it and shook it a few times, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he carefully presented it to Lu Chen.
After Lu Chen took it, he looked at it curiously, but after he finished reading it, he immediately asked the guard, "Where is this person now?" ”
"Ah......" The guard saw Lu Chen's anxious expression, and thought that there was something wrong with the content of the letter, he grinned secretly, swallowed his saliva and returned: "It should still be in the south...... ...... at the South Gate"
"Quick! Take me to him! Lu Chen put away the silk book and said.
"This, lord, this person is just a beggar, if the lord wants to see him, his subordinates will summon him, and the lord will go in person."
"No more nonsense! Hurry up and follow me to the South Gate! ”
Yo! It seems that this letter is indeed not simple! Seeing this, the guards immediately saw a little bit of the doorway, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly led Lu Chen to the south city gate.
By the time Lu Chen arrived, the sky was almost dark, and there were few pedestrians at the city gate, and he saw a beggar not far away, lying against the wall with withered grass in his mouth.
At the same time, the guards around him also pointed at the beggar and hurriedly said, "My lord, that's the man." ”
"Yes." Lu Chen replied lightly, then walked to the beggar, and said in a gentle voice:
"The good words and good articles under the feet made Lu Chen very impressed, and I don't know if I can appreciate my face and go to the mansion to talk about it."
"The general praises falsely, Sima Wen is better to be respectful than to obey ......"
